From getting into the airplane (cold and dark) up to "ready for departure" in 30 minutes is quite doable (with coffee) Source: me, for commercial airline (b737-800)

I think you're almost completely right on this one. Fingerprinting is allowed as long as it is a functional requirement of the website. What IS - to my best knowledge - unknown (or at least a gray area) is whether you can use a fingerp

doesn't disqus start replacing a specific div on a page ready event? If so, disqus loading is 'postponed' to after page loading? Or is it taken into account?

Don't get me wrong: I love working with Rails (it's my Bread and butter basically). But sometimes I fall back to rants like these myself. Though mostly focussed in the whole "there's a gem for that" and "let&#x

Actually, cancer research can benefit (admittedly by a long shot, but still) by these kind of improvements in image processing. Don't forget that medical imaging and - thereby indirectly - the recognition/detection of cancer is on

Another Dutchie here. I'd go for the degree if you have no real immediate need to start making some money. I did my CS degree at the UvA (graduated in '07) and enjoyed every moment of it. Worked quite a bit on the side too (so you can actua

In the lucky position to have programming as a hobby (and not as a full-time occupation). That next to enjoying time with my wife and kid; reading and playing tennis.

Under the right conditions you can expect to see some puffs of condensation due to the adiabatic cooling of the air on the edges of the shockwave. But then only under the exact right circumstances (moist air, sun from behing the viewpoint,

You've got the basis for a "you-like-this-so-perhaps-you-will-want-to-read-this" recommendation engine. Perform some - mentioned in another reply - n-gram analysis on the corpus; do some basic cosine-similarity analysis with the feeds peopl

If I would see a programming related ad on facebook, I would not take it serious. There are more appropriate places to reach out to programmers. Facebook is for my bingedrinking related activities ;-)

No troll intended, but it looks nice in a frame. That's all there is to the degree itself. The experience of getting the degree itself though....

Maybe not a national blockage; but Ziggo and XS4All have a large marketshare. If this order is extended to UPC (another provider) you could almost call it a nationwide blockage.

Best read for me is actually a non-tech book; the Dutch "Hoe hoort het eigenlijk" (roughly translated as: "how it should be done") which is considered "the Dutch Etiquette Bible". There is not enough courtesy and etiquette in this world. Th

This is the most interesting thing I learned today! (no really, no sarcasm here) Thanks for the explanation.

No real harm done. I was not aware that in Italian - having a gramatical dependency on genders - "your son" would be considered as "your kiddo". I was sure to teach my hypothetical (as in Schroedinger hypothetical) daughter to code anyway ;

Reset from alternate law to normal law is - afaik - a pilot induced operation. The airbus computers will never initiate such a change by themselves. I.e.: They will drop down into a lower mode automatically; but they will not up the amount

I clicked reply during the time you wrote your own reply I guess. The fact that going up a slope with a jet-engine is preferred is all due to costs. Jet-engines are just cheaper to operate (and easier to supply with fuel). Perhaps more ener

Considering that 30 kilometers is almost 100,000 feet you have a lot air you do NOT have to cross. This takes less (solid) fuel and is thus cheaper.

It's good to know; but the only thing I found (note: it was a quick google session) that comes close to this for Android is when using PhoneGap to build a 'native app'. Thanks for the info!

by bulte-rs 15y ago
The same could be said about native apps. There are more than enough apps in the various app stores to fill numerous 'springboard screens'. On the other side we only use a small set of apps. Why would habits change when switching from nativ
